Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Mate Orsic (ranked 281 p4p, 773 weight class) and Sammy Nyla (ranked 36 p4p, 88 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Orsic might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to KRS One - Rappaz R. N. Dainja. Mate Orsic had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.3lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Thomas English (ranked 137 p4p, 614 weight class) and Julio Christ (ranked 11 p4p, 45 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think English might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Muffin Man. Thomas English could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Julio Christ's chin.
